Everton have identified two targets as their potential new back-up goalkeeper.
Mark Travers’ future at Hill Dickinson Stadium is plunged in uncertainty with fears Jordan Pickford’s understudy could leave in favour of more regular appearances.
The Republic of Ireland international featured twice for the Blues last season with his only involvement coming in the Carabao Cup ties with Mansfield Town and Wolves.
His limited game-time is understood to have triggered a clause which allows other clubs to match the £4 million paid by David Moyes to sign him from Bournemouth.
Should Travers depart, Everton have set their sights on two viable alternatives who have recently become free agents to take up their second-choice goalkeeping spot.
Former Leeds stopper Karl Darlow was previously under consideration before he recently agreed to join Premier League counterparts Manchester United this month.
Attention has now turned to Orjan Nyland, who featured in Norway’s run to the World Cup quarter-finals and is available after his contract with Seville expired last month.
The 35-year-old boasts a wealth of experience in England after representing Aston Villa, Bournemouth and Reading prior to the recent three-year spell in La Liga.
Former Wolves stopper Sam Johnstone is another on Everton’s radar and was signed by the newly relegated side for £10M from Crystal Palace two years ago.
